My first post.
I am currently looking at purchasing a New 2013 ST. The local dealer had a 2014 at a great deal that I missed by a day.
I noticed it on Sat evening and went to the dealer on Monday afternoon. He sold it Sat afternoon.
But, he told me he was getting some leftover 2013 ST's in later this week. The price is right.
I have been looking for a used adventure bike for awhile. Mainly BMW GS and KTM 990 versions. Sorry but i really didn't think much about
the Yamaha until recently when i found that I can buy the ST new leftover for about the same price as a 5 to 7 year old of the others.
My current rides are a Ducati ST3 ::012:: that I tour on solo and a KTM 200 XCW ::26:: for off road. Long time enduro rider here.
Now my woman want to do some tours together and can't do more than 2 hours on the back of the Duc, so time to add to the stable.
I registered here and have been reading everything I can. I am already planning accessory purchases and I don't even have the bike yet.
I have a choice between White or Grey. I am leaning towards the White. It looks to be the faster of the two colors.
Tell me what i need to do to it right away. I am a competent mechanic and do all my own service on my bikes and some of my riding buddies bikes too.
